The say copyright can't pay the rent, but if you love Proust you can go get bent... babeYou'll burn in Hell for what you've done, Sonny Bono! Oh, and for this too! Only the first four volumes of the new translationfrom Swann's Way through Sodom and Gomorrahare available here. For this we have Sonny Bono to blame. Just before he died in 1998, the congressman sponsored a bill to extend the term of copyright by 20 years: According to the Sonny Bono Copyright Act, passed later that year, rights would expire 95, rather than 75, years after an artist's death. Since Proust died in 1922, only those four volumes first published during his lifetime had passed into the American public domain by the time the Bono Act became law. It will therefore be at least 2018 before readers in the United States can find the final three installments of the new translation (The Prisoner and The Fugitive, and Time Regained) in their local bookstores.

Proust MuseumCould two more boring words be combined? ... Um... Beef... Stew. Nope. Doesn't come close. (I once won a shirt, in part, because I hadn't read Proust.) (From TEV) Home
